My grandfather was kicked by a horse, a great grandfather chopped off his finger, another was dragged along after he had fallen from a horse. Like your family they lived in a small country town in Queensland. Without Trove many of these stories would only be serendipitous finds.

My WEBSTER relatives attended a birthday party in Cunnamulla (outback Queensland) and the story was repeated in the Brisbane Courier. The party was just for ordinary folk - not local VIPs.Judy Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331380147873608965noreply@blogger.com
